simple nursing Flashcards
ACTH (anterior pit) - what hormones?
stimulates adrenal cortex to release aldosterone and cortisol
ACTH - when is it released? (sneezing makes me stressed)
stress
GnRH - releases what? (Gnna fish)
releases FSH for men and women
LH
testicles and release of egg
what stimulates LH? (gnna loot)
gNrH
GH (grow the cannibal)
increases during anabolic metabolism, cartilege growth, and catabolism of fat.
blood glucose and insulin cause release of what hormone?
causes release of GH
what stimulates GH
normal growth
what hormone stimulates PRL
estrogen
TSH stimulates release of what?
stimulates thryoid to release T3 and T4
posterior pituitary - does it produce hormones?
no, stores them
ADH - where is it located? (Add the posterior)
posterior
ADH - memory trick
Add Da H20 - by telling kidneys to reabsorb water
what stimulates ADH? (ADH is in pain)
decrease in BP, pain, high osmolality of the blood
thick blood stimulates what hormone? (think diluting)
stimulates ADH
oxytocin - where is it located?
posterior pit
oxytocin - stimulus for release
newborn
thyroid - T3 and T4
T4 converts into T3 with the help of TSH
where is calcitonin released from?
thyroid
calcitonin (tones down calcium in blood, by putting a ton into the bone)
puts calcium into the bone
hypothyroid
low T3 and T4
hyperthroidism - #1 cause (hyper grave)
graves disease and too much iodine
hypothyroidism (hyp O comes from hashim O tos)
hashimotos
hypothyroidism causes
pituitary tumor and low iodine
parathyroid (PTH puts the calcium high inside the blood)
PTH
PTH levels (parrot is a 10)
9 - 10.5 normal
when parathyroid is high
calcium is high, and vice versa
when calcium is high
PTH shuts off and vice versa
hyperparathyroidism (the bully)
PTH is the bully that takes all of the calcium
hyperparathyroidism - risk
broken bones - takes too much calcium from them
hyperparathyroidism - kidneys?
kidney stones bc they get overloaded w/ calcium
hyperparathyroidism - intestines
rock hard bowels - too much Ca
adrenal cortex (outer) - what hormones?
epinephrine and norepinephrine
adrenal hormones (MAAC)
mineral corticoids, androgen steroids, cortisol steroid, catacholamines
mineral corticoids (al do tyrone - bouncer)
aldosterone - on steroids
aldosterone - Al (adds in) (lets out)
A - adds sodium and water in to balance BP
L - lets out of the body and into the potty
